f VIn the modified'construction of pipe and stem shown in Fig. 5, itwill be seen that the bowl 11 is'forinedentirely of corn cob var-Anishedon its outer surface inthe usual manner and connected to said howlis a wooden stem l2 havingl a small openingv formed through its innerend portion leading into an. enlarged opening extending to the outer endof thestem, as shown by dotted lines,

Vsaid enlarged'opening terminating with a smooth interior surface,adapted for the reception of the inner end of a mouth piece 13 l of thepush or yslip stemk type. The wooden stemA l2 issuitably ornamented onits outer surface and formed with a square louter end portion, aroundwhich end portion is preferably placed a metallic sleeve 11i, each'corsner ofthe squared portion being beveled n gradually inwardly and merginginto a rounder circular portion at its entrance nnele/,113

to the outer surface of the pipe: bow-l as will be readily understood.

It will be readily perceived that by the use It will also be understoodthat the wooden stem may be so shaped as tok fit a' mouth piece havingany number of flat outer surfaces.

Having thus described my invent-ion what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is i y Y A tobacco smoking pipe of the characterdescribed, comprising a corn cob bowl h aving a `round opening in oneside near the bottom thereof, a wooden stem formed of a single piecehaving aV round inner end portion fitted in said opening and flattenedside portions terminating with a Vsquare outer end, with the eXtremeinner end portion of said stemforming a solidr concaved bottom for theinner portion of the bowl and forming a portion of the inner wall ofsaid bowl.
